All are correct! :-)
1. In sentence 1, the correct choices are "quite," "quit," and "personnel." To determine the correct word choices, let's break down the sentence:
- "He was (quite/quiet/quit) lazy": The correct word here is "quite" because it means "to a great extent" and fits the context of someone being lazy.
- "and (quite/quiet/quit) his job": The correct word here is "quit" because it means to "resign or leave a job voluntarily."
- "in the (personal/personnel) department": The correct word here is "personnel" because it refers to the department responsible for managing employees in an organization.
2. In sentence 2, the correct word choice is "set." To determine this, we need to understand the context of the sentence:
- "The sun will (sit/set) in the west": The sun doesn't "sit" in the west, but it does "set" in the west. "Set" means to descend below the horizon, which is the correct word to use in this context.
3. In sentence 3, the correct word choices are "capitol" and "capital." Let's analyze the sentence to determine the correct words to use:
- "The (capitol/capital) building is in the (capitol/capital) city for a (capitol/capital) reason.": The correct word choices in this sentence are "capitol" and "capital."
- "The (capitol/capital) building": The correct word here is "capitol" because it refers to a building where a legislative body meets.
- "is in the (capitol/capital) city": The correct word here is "capital" because it refers to the main city or seat of government.
- "for a (capitol/capital) reason": The correct word here is "capital" because it means something of primary importance or significance.
4. In sentence 4, the correct word choices are "accept" and "except." Let's analyze the sentence to determine the correct words to use:
- "If I (accept,except) the scholarship": The correct word here is "accept" because it means to agree to take something that is offered.
- "I will be with all my friends, (accept/except) Mathhew.": The correct word here is "except" because it means excluding or not including someone or something.
5. In sentence 5, the correct word choice is "Who." To determine this, we need to understand the context of the sentence:
- "(Who/Whom) was present at the annual meeting?": The word "Who" is the correct choice because it is the subject of the sentence, referring to the person who was present.
